IRT - San Diego Open Preliminary Results

Daniel De La Rosa was the biggest upset winner from Thursday's qualifying rounds at the San Diego Open on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT). De La Rosa knocked off Charlie Pratt, the 11th ranked IRT player. We'd love to tell you the scores, but most of the scores from qualifying are unavailable at source.

The other players of note - Javier Moreno, Polo Gutierrez, and Hiroshi Shimizu - all won on Thursday and are now in the Round of 16. Gutierrez will likely give Chris Crowther all he can handle when they meet Friday afternoon.

De La Rosa will play Jose Rojas in the 16s, while Shimizu has the unenviable task of trying to defeat IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk.

You can follow the action live at the IRT Network beginning Friday at 11:30 AM PST, as that's when the first Round of 16 matches start. First up will be 2nd seed Rocky Carson versus Tony Carson and 7th seed Andy Hawthorne versus Juan Herrera.
